Tools and Hardware Reviews of Ramsond RMM4 2-in-1 Air Hardwood Flooring Cleat Nailer and Stapler Gun
Customer Review: So Far So Great
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm 300 sq ft into a 650 sq ft project. We are doing 5/8 engineered hardwood. The flooring looks great! This tool is built quite stout and is very easy to use. As long as you tap it with just a bit of effort it will power the nail in flush... a light tap and you will be on your knees fixing it. That is not to say you have to hammer it to get it to work... I'm saying that modest swipes get it done right every strike. I started at 90psi, but moved to 95 psi and haven't looked back. It doesn't scuff the floor and came with two different floor plates for four different thicknesses. I have been using 2" bostitch L nails. Holding strong and tight even on an old old sub floor from the 60's. I had my doubts about the subfloor, but these nails and tool are putting them in good and strong.
If I had to complain I would say that loading the nails is fine with one caveat. Getting the sliding cover back down over the strip of nails requires some fiddling and feels like the weakest part of the gun. If I had to guess where this will fail, in the end, I would have to say that something in this area will give. The nailer comes with a package of all the rubber O rings so even if they fail it should be simple, with the included instructions, on how to replace them. I experienced no leaks or hisses when I started with the gun (despite forgetting to add the included oil drops) and when I realized I had forgot the next day I added a couple drops and still feels like it is ready for more work! With that 1 caveat I still believe this is one of the best bang for your buck tools I've come across. I'm using this with a small duty Makita Mac700 compressor and getting about 7 or 8 nails before it starts up and refills to keep pressure up. I have yet to have to wait for the compressor as I get a set of boards ready and even if I keep nailing past 10 or 12 nails, they are still going in flush; both seem very efficient.
The gun looks like a bad boy. Very well built. Good looking. Easy grip rubber handle (so grippy it started my hand off raw, but they are becoming nice callus's so still good). Nothing leaks. Nails go in flush. Efficient use of air. Helps pull boards even tighter. The rubber mallet I've received seems to be constructed as I would expect; solidly! I've heard complaints about this, but mine was more than fine.
For the curious and inexperienced, this is what you need to make this tool work. Get a compressor that can handle over 90psi, get a 3/8" air hose of 25 or better 50', get 1/4" couplers for either end of the hose, and some L nails for flooring or flooring staples. 2" are working for me, but if you've got new plywood subfloors you may consider 1 1/2" and a bit more pressure. These are the things you need just to get nails into the floor. You will need the tar or rosin paper, chalk box and chalk, tape measure, pencil and/or sharpie, nail set, some nails for face nailing the first 2 rows, color matched putty to cover the first row of face nail holes, compound miter saw and/or 5 1/4, 6 1/2 or 7 1/4 wormdrive saw (unless left handed then a right side circular saw will work) pry bar, nail set, jig saw and perhaps a few other little tools here and there. voila, you are set to become a flooring grunt! Your back and hands are going to hurt if you don't make the effort to keep your back straight and don't wear some work gloves.

This dual-purpose tool has a patented two-in-one magazine and driver system that accommodates both cleats and staples. Designed for 15.5- and 16-gauge staples from 1 to 2 inches, and "L" cleats from 1-1/2 to 2 inches, the magazine has a 100 staple/cleat capacity. Loading the fastener is quick and easy--simply pull the magazine back, drop in the fasteners, and release the drawer--it takes less than 10 seconds.
Precise Air-Powered Operation
The Ramsond RMM4 operates with the power of compressed air (60 - 120 PSI) and is equipped with a standard 1/4-inch NPT air inlet for easy compatibility. To use, simply attach your air compressor's hose to the RMM4's air inlet, then rest the nose of the RMM4 squarely against your work surface to fire.
The direction and angle of the staple/cleat will be automatically aligned for precision driving. And with only a slight strike of the mallet upon the actuator, the RMM4 will shoot a cleat nail or staple through your flooring at the proper angle and depth.
Patented Air-Booster Chambers
Most conventional flooring nailers/staplers store compressed air within the body of the tool. Upon mallet strike, the air reserved in the body of the tool is released, driving the blade and shooting the fastener. The RMM4 takes this design one step further. In addition to storing compressed air inside its body, the RMM4 continuously stores compressed air in two patented air acceleration/booster chambers located in the handle.
By storing extra compressed air, these sealed chambers ensure that the fasteners shoot with sufficient force for perfect penetration in the flooring surface. The booster chambers also accommodate quicker retraction of the actuator and blade when compared with conventional units.
Non-Marring Base System
Featuring an adjustable non-marring base system, the RMM4 provides protection against scratches and allows you to drive fasteners fast and close to the wall. The base system is equipped with two composite disks in the front, a middle guide, and a rear nylon-derivative plate. The combination of these three mechanisms ensures that the surface of your hardwood flooring is not marred or damaged during installation. It also provides for tool balance and optimal positioning against the work surface for fast, accurate installation.
Works with Most Thicknesses of Hardwood Flooring
The RMM4 series is suitable for virtually all thickness of hardwood flooring (1/2 inch, 5/8 inch, 3/4 inch, and 25/32 inch). It comes with two nylon composite base plates--simply install the appropriate base plate for your application.
Durable and Comfortable
With over 30,000 units sold in North America, the RMM4 is sure to deliver on its promises. Designed for long-term use, the Ramsond RMM4 is an industrial-strength power tool that's comfortable to use. Its body is constructed of a durable, lightweight die-cast alloy, and its driver blade is constructed of heat-treated hardened steel for long-lasting resilience. For user comfort, the RMM4 has a long-reach handle with a padded cushioned grip that offers increased balance and control.
